Expert Guidance and Support for Your Office 365 Deployment

Office 365 provides the email, productivity and collaboration capabilities required by today’s businesses. But transitioning from your current system to Office 365 can be challenging. Without proper planning, you risk downtime or data loss during the move — bringing your business to a standstill.

Instead, let the experts at Rackspace guide you to a successful Office 365 deployment. As a five-time Microsoft Hosting Partner of the Year with deep experience designing, deploying and managing Microsoft solutions, we have the expertise you need — every step of the way.

Office 365 Expertise

From migration and deployment to ongoing support and long-term strategic planning, our specialists have the expertise to help you get the most out of Office 365.

Project-Based Solutions

Let us address your specific challenges, with project-based solutions for planning, designing or executing a migration to Office 365 and leveraging all it has to offer.

Microsoft Partnership

Our partnership with Microsoft helps ensure that we stay informed about new Office 365 features and enhancements, so you can stay ahead of the curve.

Because of Fanatical Support, we knew we were partnering with a best-in-class company that shared our vision of getting it done.

Migrations

Our Office 365 migration services include access to a team of migration specialists who onboard you as efficiently and painlessly as possible. Whether your transformation needs are simple or complex, we have migration options available to help guide your move.

Rackspace Cutover Migration

Cutover migrations are best when you want to move your entire email system over to Office 365 at once and start managing users from there. To reduce the amount of work involved for you, we provide all of the following with our assisted migration service:

A dedicated migration specialist

A two-pass migration plan that migrates mail, contacts and calendar data for mailboxes under 50GB each (extra fees may apply for mailboxes over 50GB)

DNS guidance for the go-live phase

Email client and mobile device setup for end users via one of our unique Rackspace tools

Rackspace Custom Staged Migration

For a more controlled email migration experience, Rackspace can quote on a custom staged migration, where mailboxes move to Office 365 in scheduled batches of users. Rackspace can even assist you with the remediation of any source environment including identity issues before we begin the move. Using a staged migration gives you a smooth transition to the cloud with a period during which your source environment and Office 365 mail deployment coexist.

Rackspace Custom Hybrid Migration

A hybrid migration offers the best experience for complex email migrations by providing the power of Office 365 mail with the administrative control you’re used to with your on-premises Exchange Server. In a hybrid migration, some of your users can be moved to Office 365 while others remain on-premises until you are ready to move them completely to the cloud. Hybrid migrations require Exchange 2010 or above and you must have full control of your source environment.

Partner-Led Custom Migration

For very large or highly complex migration scenarios, Rackspace works with a set of strategic partners that can provide a deeper level of remediation and migration based on time and materials estimates.

Rackspace OneDrive/SharePoint Migration

Rackspace has a long history of managing complex dedicated SharePoint Server workloads. Our engineers can provide custom migrations from SharePoint Server to SharePoint Online in 365 or from various file storage options to OneDrive, all based on an hourly estimate.

Every company’s journey to the Microsoft cloud is different. We can help you develop a strategy that best meets your business needs and reduces risk — with a proven track record of helping thousands of customers transform their businesses in the cloud.
